Happy New Year!
We’re looking forward to an exciting line-up of spring activities here at the garden. We encourage you to participate in any or all of the following:

Lecture Series:
Our Spring Lecture Series (see pages 4-6 for details) kicks-off on February 8th with Dr. Sam Cotner discussing Vegetable Gardening in the Brazos Valley. Sam literally “wrote the book” on vegetable gardening in Texas so you won’t want to miss this outstanding educational opportunity.

Spring Plant Sale:
Speaking of outstanding opportunities, be sure to mark your calendar for our annual Spring Plant Sale to be held on April 9th. This is your chance to purchase those hard to find plants, specifically adapted to our area. Remember – Friends of the Garden members receive access to the special preview session before we open the gates to the general public.

Garden Gala:
April will be a busy month here and we also want to encourage you to participate in our annual Spring Garden Gala to be held on April 23rd (details on page 7). This major fund raiser will feature food, entertainment, door prizes, and more. Help Keep the Garden Growing by participating in this years’ Gala event!

NEW Plants from the Garden:
Beginning in this month’s issue of the Landscape and Gardening Journal our regular Plant of the Month section will change to Plants from the Garden. We will focus on plant selections (growing here at the TAMY Horticultural Gardens) that have unique characteristics for the Brazos Valley. We’ll also provide planting and maintenance tips on how to make these plants thrive in your landscape.

We’re geared up for an exciting spring season and look forward to seeing you at the garden!
